Computational aspects of systematic biology

Brief Bioinform. 2006 Jun;7(2):186-95. doi: 10.1093/bib/bbl005. Epub 2006 Apr 24.

Abstract

We review the resources available to systematic biologists who wish to use computers to build classifications. Algorithm development is in an early stage, and only a few examples of integrated applications for systematic biology are available. The availability of data is crucial if systematic biology is to enter the computer age.
